It is also worth pointing out that it may be difficult to be able to contribute in this kind of area. The engineers responsible for different parts of the system also have obligations they need to deliver for upcoming releases; if someone wants to make a contribution that deeply impacts their code and will require a fair amount of time to review and integrate then they may need to prioritize it accordingly. Not to mention needing to account for its impact on QA, documentation, and other parts of the release process.
Anyway, android-contrib is the correct place for this kind of discussion. On Sun, Mar 13, 2011 at 4:40 PM, Mark Murphy <mmur...@commonsware.com>wrote: > Note that you replied to me directly.
